 A report was received here thls week that artesian water had been struck in the San Simon valley, about seven miles southeast from Bowie station.

Voelckel believes that the wealth of a county is in its agricultural resources, and is now trying toget portion of that wealth by pre-empting 160 acres of fine arabic land near Thomas. He is also, I understand, acting generously by his friends in Tue son, and has given them pointers as to the manner in which they can become property holders in this garden spot of Arizona with out much expense or trouble.
 Thanksgiving passed off very quietly. No ball, no horse racing, no nothing in the way of excite ment; but turkey and cranberry sauce galore. We are not much as sports, but when it comes to at tending to the wants of the inner man the citizen of Pueblo Veijo valley will hold his own with any one.
 The ball, which the dudes con- templated giving Thanksgiving, was a failure owing to want of harmony among the projectors. A few, however, of the energetic or es got together and gave a hop Fri day night, which was enjoyed by those whose good fortune 1t was to receive invitations in time to attend.

 Mir. Bert Frye and wife are now rusticating at their cattle ranch ln the Graham. Mir. H. A. Morgan with his family will follow suit in a few days.
 The great disappointment of tho past week was the non arrival of THE CLARION, with its usual budget of county news. It seems strange that mall matter should get lost or mislaid in such a short distance, but it appears to be a fact never theless, and we are the sufferers thereby. GILA.
